Top 7 Mispronounced Game Names

ITANI | June 26, 2007 | Top List | Misc

A list which contains 7 of the most mispronounced game names. Now some of these games I've heard of but I myself just found out that I mispronounced some wrong. The article also talks about how games have become more complicating in their name and other features. Simple games such as Pong are extinct. Although it's completely surprising what the No.1 mispronounced title is.

7. Faxanadu
6. Ys
5. Suikoden
4. PoPoLoCrois
3. Deus Ex
2. Magic of Scheherazade
1. Pokémon

  I've always pronounced it Ninja 'Guy-den' (like guy as in a dude). I think that is what you are saying too...not sure. I don't like it when I hear people pronouncing it "Ninja Gay-den"

I can't believe Pokemon is on top of the list. That is one of the easiest to pronounce on the list if you ask me.

Kid: "Hey mom when are we getting my Pokemon cards?"
Mom: " Well stop by Toysrus after I'm done shopping."
Kid: "BUT MOM I NEED THE HOLOGRAPHIC CHARIZARD!!!"
Mom: "AFTER I'M DONE!
Kid: "BUT I NEED IT NOW!!!"
Mom: "SHUT THE HELL UP OR YOUR NOT GETTING ANY DAMN POKEYMAN CARDS!!!"

Anyone know the correct way to pronounce the awesome ICO?

Gothic Girl | June 27, 2007

I've always pronounced ICO as "ii-ko"

The fact that Ehrgeiz isn't on the list makes it an instant fail.
As for the actual game name ... I'd pronounce it "Err-geez".

Ninja Gaiden as "Nin-ja Guy-den" (though I think Gay-den is probably right. XD)

Suikoden as "Soo-ii-ko-den" (lol)
